Patriots Sign Two Free Agents

The New England Patriots signed two free agents, tight end Julian Hill and safety Mike Brown, on Wednesday. Hill, previously with the Dolphins, appeared in 45 games with 26 starts over three seasons, recording 33 catches for 288 yards. He is expected to become the team's second tight end. Brown, formerly with the Titans, played under current Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel in 2023. These acquisitions follow the departure of safety Jaylinn Hawkins to Baltimore and the recent agreement with safety Kevin Byard, aiming to bolster the team's roster.
